I'm listening to The End of the Innocence, the story of the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. This book is a lot of fun, I think especially if you have New York connections or memories of the fair, but in any case for its account of the fair's weirdly warped take on progress and tolerance at a time of great social upheaval.
The narration is good, but not great. The book's tone tends toward archness and the narrator overemphasizes this, IMO, with a consciously droll voice. I'd prefer it if he let the humor speak for itself.
